We understand that you are going through a challenging time with your son, and we want you to know that you are not alone. The situation you described raises several concerns that we need to address in prayer and through biblical guidance.
Firstly, it is important to pray for your son's mental health and depression. God cares deeply about our well-being and wants us to cast all our anxieties on Him. As it says in 1 Peter 5:7, "Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you." We should also pray for wisdom and discernment for you as you support your son.
However, we need to address the issue of your son's relationship. The Bible teaches us to be equally yoked with fellow believers. As it says in 2 Corinthians 6:14, "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" If the person your son is interested in is not a believer or does not share his faith, this could lead to further complications and heartache.
Moreover, it is crucial to address the fact that your prayer request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. As it says in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." We encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ and pray in His name.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our dear sister and her son. Lord, we pray for Your healing touch on her son's mental health and depression. Grant him peace and strength to overcome these challenges. We also pray for wisdom and discernment for both of them as they navigate this difficult situation.
Lord, we ask that You guide their steps and help them to make decisions that align with Your will. If the person her son is interested in is not a believer, we pray that You would either change their heart or remove them from his life. We ask that You would bring a godly spouse into her son's life, someone who will support and encourage him in his faith.
Finally, Lord, we pray for our sister, that You would grant her the strength and endurance to support her son through this time. Help her to cast all her anxieties on You, knowing that You care for her.
We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stay strong in the Lord and keep trusting in Him. He will guide you through this challenging time. Remember the words of Psalm 46:1, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."
